Lomo'Instant 2014
Sorry – camera pr0n.
So I backed the Lomo'Instant Kickstarter campaign and this arrived a few weeks ago. I'm feeling mixed about it at the moment. It was a nice idea at the time, but I find myself saying, "But wait a minute..."
You know when a product doesn't feel quite right? Yeah – that. Has anybody else picked one of these up recently? I'd be interested to know what your own experiences are with this thing. I don't feel overly impressed with it.
I haven't been feeling too great lately. A mixture of isolation and general madness/sadness, possibly to do with my current work placement and some recent things happening both at home and at work that have been a mixture of distressing and unnecessarily stressful, &c., &c., and that has resulted in me not really picking up any camera that much. Or going out that much. The usual doom and gloom around this time, especially Christmas, ensues. I don't particularly enjoy it, and whilst I may have my health and all that, I find that I have little to be joyful about at this time of year, purely because humanity is going out of its way to make me retch (Christmas adverts, Black Friday in London – what the actual f...?!) and I may or may not have expressed the fact I didn't really want to be on this Earth any more. Though that's par for the course anyway. I am really tired – maybe it's the SAD. I don't know. But I've found human interaction really exhausting recently in situations where I'd usually be absolutely fine.
I am hoping the local churches or community centres will be taking "stuff" for Christmas – I have a storage unit full of things that I hoarded from my life before, and it will just take too long to put on eBay (plus I have about 3 people that haven't paid for stuff on eBay already – and it has been over a week since these people placed their winning bids – I may rant / blog about this later). It will be nice to get some of the nice things I do have that I never used and give them to people who will use them and find them a help.
Update: So I had a rant about eBay...
